What does count as taking damage?
I was wondering about the rules behind the "no damage" achievements. I've found these on the older Binding of Isaac Wikia's page.
What counts as "taking damage?"
- Getting hit by an enemy, enemy projectile, bomb
- Purchasing an item from the Devil Room.
- Spike door in the Curse Room.
What doesn't count as "taking damage?"
- Using the Blood Donation Machine or IV bag.
- Damage taken from the Devil Beggar.
- The "Bad Trip" or the "Health Down" pill effects.
- The Razor Blade and Blood Rights items.
- Using a "Health up!" pill.
- Taking damage while under the effect of Holy Mantle
I know that Holy Mantle is a new item, so this seems to be an updated list, but it's on the old wikia, so the question is: is this list reliable for Rebirth too?
I need to know if Devil Deals still count as damage taken.
Best Answer
According to GameFaqs, it seems that in Rebirth Devil Deals no longer count as damage taken, unlike the original Binding of Isaac.
